I suggest you start doing regular instances. These will get you blue drops. if you have a guild/friends they may take you through. The easiest place to get great loot is regular ToC and when you have 2k+ dps try to do Heroic ToC. Many people in your situation tend to collect crafted epics. Ask for a blacksmith you know or in trade to link his profession skill to see what he can make. if you have money, this is the easier route.
Also you will need to work on some reputations. The most important is the Sons of Hodir. If you quested in stormpeaks you may have started on that path. in K3, the goblin city, there is a quest called
They took out Men!
. This starts a chain that leads you to a village of frosty vykrul amazons. This leads you to Thorim. By helping him yu befriend the faction of frost giants known as the Sons of Hodir. After weeks of their dailies you will get exaulted and able to purchase shoulder enchants.
Other reputation that are important are improved by running level 80 instances or heroics while wearing their tabard. These factions usually get you to at least friendly by quests they offer in Northrend. After you have friendly you can buy the tabard. If you have the addon called Atlasloot enhanced, you can search through the gear they offer. It maybe something nice to start with.
When you can start doing heroics you will start collecting emblems of conquest.
I found this picture that will help describe the emblems for you:
Click Here
The screenshot shown there tells you where the emblems are from and what they can be used to buy.
Here is a full lsit of all items that can be purchased with emblems of conquest.
That tells you were you can collect loot. Next you may need to understand more about your class, its mechanics and optimizing your rotations. I suggest reading the
official paladin forums
as well as our
wowhead paladin forums
. Later you should also read the
elitist Jerk paladin forums
.
If you need money, I recommend getting this achievement:
Loremaster of Northrend
Completing all of those quests plus selling/disenchanting the rewards nets you at least five thousand gold. If you do dailies, you can setup a steady income. twenty five dailies a day egst you over three hundred gold per day.
if you need bags but lack gold to purchase some from the auction house I have an alternative. Collect frostweave and BoE greens. If you can disenchant items, good. If not just collect BoE greens and ask in trade for a disenchanted to blow them up. They always appreciate any tip you are willing to provide. The materials for a
frostweave bag
is as follows:
60 (3 stacks) of
frostweave cloth
12
infinite dust
Once you have enough to make at least one, use trade channel to contact a tailor and ask for one to be made with your materials. That tip thing I said before applies here too.
That should get you started on gathering loot, using your spells effectively and fixing that bagspace problem. If you find yourself interested in raiding, I recommend you go to
the official forums for your server
.
Above everything else if you are not having fun, do something else in game or not.

Long story short.
If you will stay Ret, just buy the
Savage Saronite Battlegear.
Raise your reputation with the Knights of the Ebon Blade for a good
weapon
,a
head enchant
and finally a
pair of a pretty damn good boots.
Start doing the Ebon Blade dailies and the Argent Tournament for a
better
weapon
.
And as stated above, do your daily heroic and get gear from badges. I raided Naxxramas 25 with my new dinged DK in full Savage Saronite Battlegear and a Titansteel Destroyer.
Good luck mate.

Run ToC normal. It drops some higher than heroic quality gear at a lower difficulty and with more ease. Then, do Heroics and follow the above advice. :)

I have another suggestion in addition to those already stated.
It's an alternative method of getting purple gear, and suited for you if you want to do things yourself, rather than having to rely on others for Dungeons etc.
PvP at Wintergrasp:
Run this as many times as you can. Complete the Daily (twice a week) quests and accumulate as much Honor, WG emblems, and Stone Keeper shards as you can. Then, go spend them.
That's what I did after I kept on getting kicked out of Raids/Dungeons because my gear wasn't good enough.
Cheers.

This way, instead of getting kicked out because your gear was too low level, you can now get kicked out because your gear is PvP instead of PvE.
Don't use PvP gear as anything other than a temporary stop-gap; it is not an alternative gearing method for PvE, but rather a way to gear for actual PvP fights.

I don't get it.
What makes the gear bought from Org Northrend QM PvP gear?
As a Paladin, he can get:

for example. What makes this PvP gear?
Cheers.

Wasted item level points for PvE on stamina and resilience makes it PvP.

Run some dungeons! Check out the gear here on wowhead or you can be a sucker and buy a $10 pet from Blizz's pet store (I'm kidding about that last part). Why would anyone pay 10 bucks for a in-game pet....

Not only is that PvP gear (denoted by the fact that it has resilience on it), but it is also gear for a Holy Paladin (PvP Healer), not a Retribution Pally that the OP is.
